CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- There are new developments in the county commission fight over whether to revaluate Mecklenburg County property taxes.

For the first time, at least seven of the nine people who will be Mecklenburg County commissioners on Dec. 1 said if they voted today, they'd vote to hold off on revaluation.

Previously, the board was split along party lines with Republicans against the revaluation and Democrats pushing for it to go forward.

Republican Neil Cooksey said, "I think the majority of property owners in Mecklenburg County would see their property taxes go up, and that's the thing I'm trying to prevent."

When Eyewitness News asked how he's leaning, Democrat George Dunlap said, "[I'm] not leaning, I'm there. I support delaying revaluation."

That should help homeowners who had their property values go up.

West Charlotte resident Juanita Ardrey said, "Hold off. Cut down. Whatever. It'd be good for me."

But, delaying the revaluation would hurt people who live in homes that dropped in value.

Northwest Charlotte resident Cato Pinkney said, "We're paying for too much taxes for the property value."

Commissioners plan to vote in December after the new members are sworn in.
